I don't recall seeing anything on PAM under the level 1 exams, but then
I wouldn't expect to. Most distros I've seen have relatively "sane" PAM
configurations (IMHO). While these might require some changes (stacking
modules, adding/deleting, changing /etc/security files that PAM uses,
etc.), I expect these would be at least level 2. These all apply to
restricted services that I wouldn't be comfortable with less than a
senior admin modifying. There probably should be a PAM area in level 2.
Looks to me like the below is talking about process accounting (which is
probably better handled by PAM now).
BTW, this pam_limits.so module is fairly new (at least, six months ago I
didn't even have one -- although it is on my latest install).
